District Athletic Committees

Guidelines

A.The Executive
Board has established District and Special District Committees to assist in the
management of the programs and activities of the Association.

B.Each athletic
district or special district is represented by a committee of three school
representatives appointed annually by the Executive Board. Representation for
each athletic district in each classification is listed by school rather than
by name of individual serving on each District or Special District Committee. The representative of the first school listed shall serve as chair.

C.Complete plans
for each selection of athletic district representatives for state competition
in each sport shall be determined by the District or Special District
Committee. These plans should include peculiarities of each district not
specifically covered by the athletic plan as published by the OSAA.

D.If for some
reason the district plan has not covered a particular situation that occurs in
determining the district representative to the OSAA State Championships, the
District or Special District Committee shall determine the representative
(teams or individuals).

E.If the school
represented by a member of the District or Special District Committee may be
affected by the decision of the Committee, the committee member representing
the potentially affected school shall be temporarily replaced. A
representative of the next school in alphabetical succession to serve on the
Committee shall fill the vacated position until the committee reaches a
decision.

F.A District or
Special District Committee, in making its determination:

1)May consult all
other schools in that athletic district or special athletic district;

2)May not change
the final decision or outcome of a particular contest;

3)May not permit
extra games or contests after the official published cutoff date for any sport
unless an emergency exists and permission has been received from the Executive
Board.

G.All ties for
qualifying positions shall be settled at the district level. It is suggested
that the method for settlement of ties be predetermined and published prior to
each district meet for each sport.

H.No athletic
district may change its representative(s) in the state championships after the
official cutoff date or the official close of entries should a problem exist
that precludes a school or an individual from being a district representative
to a state championship. For team entries only, any change made following the
official cutoff date shall be the decision of the Executive Board.
